Guess where? Department of Energy Invests $34 Million Into Carbon Fiber Manufacturing and Processing Technologies

The US Department of Energy is pumping some serious money into helping to reduce the production cost of carbon fiber manufacturing. They are using $34.7 million of the $104.7 million in funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for this carbon fiber project. The rest is going towards improved efficiency/lower costs for car batteries, as well as net-zero energy building technologies.

The money will specifically be going to building a new carbon fiber technology center at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge Tennessee. ORNL has developed advanced microwave-assisted plasma processes to help potentially reduce the cost.
